“iCE2biG” traces its origins from the Tagalog slang ice-tubig, or iced water, the Filipino’s version of bottled water. Who can forget growing up in the hot islands of the Philippines and holding on to an energizing and refreshing drink of water iced to perfection in plastic? The footlong ice-tubig could be bought at the sari-sari, retail stores that virtually dotted the Philippine landscape.


The connection?
Like the ice-tubig, or iced water, iCE2biG aims to provide busy and not-so-busy individuals with a break, offering refreshing coolness, vigor and energy by bringing the whole community together through music, social networking, chatting and more. We hope to serve as a beacon, showing the people of the world what Filipino talent is all about. Our site will showcase the Filipino’s creative talent and production as well as promote our culture.


What's with the number 2?
Addicted to your cellphone? Texting? Most likely. As a member of ‘Generation Text,’ we try to shortcut everything, using words such as thank you, forget, tonight, before, later in its abbreviated text version of tnx, 4get, 2nyt, b4, l8er (grammar and spelling freaks, beware! This is a living nightmare!) Hence, iCE2biG, a not-so-English word that brings back a lot of memories to Filipinos.
